....I haven't even opened the box yet, imagine if there's something wrong with the item and I have to send it back in this
@Foxhack Yeah but like 3D and way more flexible
i've always had trouble fleshing out my fursona's design & i think a big part of it is because i don't have a great visual imagination
what would be really great is like a video game character creator but for fursonas so i could see a visual representation while i mess around with features and sliders and colours until i land on something i like... and then i could send that to artists as a reference
if someone made that i would definitely subscribe to your patreon or whatever
@DanaTheElf Yeah it's not too likely tbh but I couldn't totally rule it out
Probably your best bet though is to speak to someone with decent SNES technical knowledge, they could probably figure out the issue pretty easily, i'm just generalising from my experience with GB stuff here
@DanaTheElf hm if it was only ever released on that cart it's also possible it specifically makes use of the multicart's bank switching to swap in translated assets or something
@DanaTheElf It does sound like you mightve been lucky enough that the game you want is present in the first bank in which case you might have all the data & the issue could just be that its not in the right place or the emulator is detecting the size wrong or something
But if you're not lucky the data was split across bank boundaries and you don't have all of it
@DanaTheElf Yeah that sounds like a mapper thing, what's probably happening is it has multiple 4MB rom banks and requires some specific write to some address to read any other banks, otherwise it'll just give you the first one. The only way to dump the whole thing would be to use a dumping device that allows you to customise the reads/writes performed and then reverse engineer the menu code to figure out what they are, its not trivial sadly
@DanaTheElf You might have already seen this but if it helps any this person seems to have been successful in extracting games from a Woodi SFC cart https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/discussions/822
@DanaTheElf I don't have experience with SNES specifically but the usual issue with multicarts isn't compression but rather that they use custom memory mappers that standard dumping tools don't support and typically aren't emulated either. if you're trying to extract a specific game the issue is probably either the full data for that game wasn't dumped or it's not in the right place, but couldn't say which without seeing it really
